B-52

I'm similar to you, but I travel throughout the state everyday to different appointments. I had my surgery Monday. Was planning on working from home and going back on Friday. It's day 2 for me and I do fell better all the time. Went out and ran some errands today, felt strong. But I do get very fatigued by 4 pm. And totally wiped out by 7pm. I think I am going to stay home this Friday as well and make a full week of it.

Not sure. It is empty now. Also the Doc said he wanted to check and make sure there was no air. I don't know. I feel fine now.

Yes, as a matter of fact the Nurse called me right after I posted this. Told me to come in, which I did. Dr. said definitely post-op inflammation. He decreased the fill on the band. Told me when I come back next tuesday for my scheduled visit, he will re-fill it. All is well now. No trouble with liquids or Jello.

Had the Lap band surgery Monday. Glad I found this site. Lot's of info. I have many questions, but will start with the one that troubles me the most. I have pain when I swallow, say Water. Actually I can swallow just fine, but a moment later when the water passes from the pouch through the band I get a lot of pain. I have to force myself to get liquids in. Forget Jello, the pain is to much to bear. I've read that this can be expected...inflammation from the surgery? It's day 2, and has gotten easier today, the pain is still there, just not as bad. Can't imagine drinking anything thicker than water.
